    Loverly, So funny. Two dogs together can be wonderful. If the mix is right. They take care of each other. But if the age spread is too much than that can upset the balance. We kept one of the Brittany pups from the second litter. Actually had the female Lady, Max and JB(Jimmy Buffet). Lady was killed when JB was < a year. Max was about 7 then. JB just followed Max's lead in everything. We never had any destructive behavior issues with JB. But we had learned from Max. Then latter after we moved here, Rascal (6months) showed up one day. She was a runner. That did cause some issue's, but we learned. Then when Shatzi came as a pup Rascal was pretty old 12. Dini came when Shat's was 6. Dini's approximately the same age. Dini had all kinds of anxiety abuse issue's. Shat's had a great influence. Dini watched everything with Shat's. I had to train both DBF and Dini. Both are doing excellent. Dini's anxiety issue's are gone. Happy, happy dog. Wig wags all the time.

    But the mix has to be right. My Vet rescued a dog that an owner wanted to put down. Yikes, her stories weren't good. Totally upset the balance in the home. The Vet thought she could fix the dog. She said it was a very humbling experience. Will find out this month what happened. Like Smarrty getting rid of her Britt. Sometimes it just doesn't work.

    It's a thought. Chew on it awhile :)

    I'll bring my lemon drops to the pocket party. It's actually the only sweet I have a taste for after chemo, unless it's pastry - the flakier the better.

    I agree with Sassy about another dog, Loverly. Don't know how my two would manage without each other. If you have a smart phone, try the Petfinder app.

    Guess I'll hit the sack. Meds are kicking in. Glad I'm not on steroids. When I had them for chemo I couldn't control my bladder. Not sure that's completely restored.

  • good evening ladies. I see several people still up. Yea ! I went to sleep at ten for about 1 1\2 hours. Now awake with back pain. Just took something for it and waiting on it to take effect

    Hugs al around

    Hootie hoo

    Smarty- love the family photos. That little Evie has a nice head of hair, doesn't she?

    Your floors look great. I had my carpeting pulled out and hard wood floors put in their place over the past year or so and just so love them. I hope you enjoy your new renovated space!

Btw, ginger ale sounds perfect! Heading out in about an hour. Deep breath! I did some research so I know what to look for on the screen. LOL!

    Smarty. - hope Evie is awake, eating well, and peaceful.

    Poodles don't shed like other dogs. The fallen hairs stay in and mat. Just look at Spookie funny and she has mats. And sheds. Most people don't keep their Maltese in full coat. I'm a glutton for punishment, but am getting it cut to about 3" next week. She's 8#, Kris is about 20#.

    Smaarty, Love the generations photo. Agreed, you need to get the 5 gen photo done. I have one with me as the baby. I love your sewing space. A cutting table? Sure beats crawling around on the floor.

  • chevy. Well be safe. No slipping and sliding about

    Spookie. How old are they ?

    Believe it or not, they're playing. The little one, Rose, is the boss; if the big guy gets too rough, she puts him in his place.
